one thing i love is how that one guy who first got the card, and the other guy who received the card are two key people in the destruction of the death stars, and might have even saved the galaxy from years under imperial rule..

two unknown soldiers i think they are at least who ended up saving everyone...

It's fantastic because it helps step away from the "1 person saving the universe" trope that is overplayed and annoying. History is created by tons of people, not 1 person, and it's little things like this that makes it feel more realistic.

If they had, for instance, had Leia be the one to get the disk and run from Vader which would clash with Episode 4 but I'm ignoring that for a point it would have lessened the quality of the scene drastically.

that scene and the death star eclipse are some of the coolest things in all of the movies i also like "be careful not choke on your aspirations" because it was the best ********* pun in the whole franchise

Yeah, I had my problems with Rogue One primarily I feel like the pre-release discussions calling it "Saving Private Ryan" in space completely misrepresented the tone of the film, but I have other complaints as well but holy that scene is just too good. It was everything I wanted out of a Star Wars film condensed into two minutes. Honestly could've redeemed Rogue One even if everything else was **** (which it wasn't, don't get wrong).

Because my memory is pretty crazy, I remember omegacrusader posted a similar image to pic related last time this was posted, but I can't remember if it was exactly this one or not.

I enjoyed the entirety of the film greatly but man... It had been years since I actually was frightened by Darth Vader. And when the rebels made the jump to lightspeed and ending up slamming into a Star Destroyer , I was just blown away.
